Churchill BARV info wanted

I have one (very small and blurry) picture in a book somewhere of the ill-starred Churchill BARV. According to the caption it was trialled and a few built but was shelved in preference for the Sherman BARV due to its higher profile (handy when you're half underwater no doubt!)

But I'd like to build a Churchill BARV, maybe even kit it; does anyone have any info on this rare version?

There is a photo of one towing a Universal Carrier ashore during a pre-Overlord exercise in Tanks Illustrated 25 - The Churchill Tank by Chris Ellis. I suspect that it is the one that you remember - it is very indistinct and shows little in teh way of useful detail.
